We paid a visit to Pine Lawn Manor and Sumner Care Rehab Center in November 2025. Wow, quite the place!!! Here is a link to our website report and evidence is at the bottom of that page. The times on the EVPs may be different. I noticed the player on our computer and on my phone are different.

Several months ago, I happened to come across Pine Lawn Manor on Facebook. It grabbed my attention immediately being that Pine Lawn manor was a former hotel turned into a nursing home. The Sumner Care rehab center is another location across the street that housed dementia patients. The buildings wer...

We had the opportunity to visit Ashmore Estates November 2, 2024 for a daytime investigation. I have found that whether it be day or night, there is indeed a lot going on there!

ADDENDUM: It has been a little over 10 years since I visited Ashmore Estates with David. We had some amazing experiences, (see original report and evidence below)! Robbin Terry had just bought the estate at the time, and I was anxious to see what changes had been made, and there were plenty! Since t...

In October CAPS investigated the historic Hamilton Primary school in Otterville, Illinois It's a wonderful place to check out!!!

Dave had talked about investigating the immensely historic Hamilton Primary school, but unfortunately never got the chance. However, after both Jody and I received some very strong signs this summer, all roads pointed to us needing to follow up on his plan.

We spent some time in September investigating the Eldred house. I'm happy to say after reviewing all the evidence, we were not disappointed! Here is the link to our website if anyone is interested in reading the report and as usual, we post the evidence at the bottom of the page. We had an interesting video from there the first time we investigated several years ago. That can be found on the prior Eldred report page.

It has been many years since CAPS had its first investigation, The Eldred House. Although Top Cat/David and I talked about a return visit, sadly he passed away before we were able to make that happen. I decided it was important to follow through with that commitment, so I booked an investigation on....

Last Spring, we stayed at the Baer House Inn Bed and Breakfast located in Vicksburg, Mississippi. We had some interesting experiences and evidence from there!

After spending a few fun filled days in New Orleans (with David and Jodi), Jim and I headed north for Vicksburg, Mississippi, known as being the location of one of the bloodiest civil war battles. Naturally with so much historical significance, accounts of ghostly encounters are plentiful.  After d...
